which TOTALLY explains why they allow the Hundreds of pokemon fan games and other MMOs as well as zelda and mario related hacks and fangames,

theyve only shut down 2 things to my knowledge:

I think that music was his own, put over the video.

Either Nintendo hates its fan base or it wants a MMO that can drain more money from us.

Wow, that looks amazing. You can tell 6 years worth of work has went into that. I hope that they are able to release that otherwise it'd be a huge waste.
